Crispy Vietnamese Pancake
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
Pancake Batter
- 350gm rice flour
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 750ml coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons of sunflower, plus extra for cooking pancakes
- 250ml of water plus extra if required to make the batter smooth
Filling
- 2 teaspoons of sesame oil
- 4 chicken thighs de-skinned, boned and diced
- 1 packet of cooked prawns
- 1 teaspoon of finely grated ginger
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic
- 1 slice brown onion
- 3 bunches of spring onions sliced on a long diagonal root removed
- 1 large handful of bean sprouts
- Soy sauce to taste
Garnish
- 8 nice iceberg lettuce leaves
- ½ bunch of basil
- ½ bunch of mint
- 2 limes cut in quarters
Method:
Batter
- Sift the rice flour and turmeric, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl. Stir in the coconut milk, sunflower oil and water until well combined and the batter is smooth with a pouring cream consistency.
Filling
- Stir fry the chicken thigh meat in a little sesame oil with a little of the garlic and ginger until just cooked and set aside. Then stir fry the spring onion; beans sprouts with the remaining garlic and ginger add the prawns and the cooked chicken thigh and season with soy sauce and set aside, keeping warm.
Pancakes
- In a large non-stick large fry pan or well-seasoned wok heat two tablespoons of sunflower oil. Pour in enough batter to make a nice thick pancake, swirling the batter around the pan to make an even thickness, let this cook on one side for about 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy. (You can make large ones or small ones. To share or individually)
- Add enough filling to one half of the pancake. Then fold over the unfilled portion and serve with a lettuce leaf cup and the fresh herbs. The Idea is to make your own lettuce pocket filled with the pancake and the herbs and a squeeze of lime.
